See Orkney's Northern Lights this autumn

week before

Week before Nursery starts.

I can not believe that the summer holidays is almost over. And that both of my children will be off to nursery. I think to myself BREATH! 15 hours a week and no children. The only reason that this happening is due to be being able to claim the 2 year funding.

I think to myself IF I did not get the two year funding what would have done? Only my oldest would be nursery and the youngest still at home. BUT that is not bad thing, after all children grow up so fast. You blink and you miss it.

I have worked since I was 15years old so now it is time to have a break to be a mum and take care of someone other myself full time.

SO 15 hours per week what is my plan? Thinking about it, I only have 3 hours per week after dropping them off each day and waiting to pick then up to really do anything.

So I ham going to try and put a plan together and take things from there. The main thing that I would like to do is be more clutter “FREE and to remove any thing from my life that I no longer need.

I am looking at sorting out all of my books first and only keeping the ones that I love, need and are not damaged.

Since having the boys, I have read more and this is something that I love to do and wish I had more time to do.

So my first Aim is to read one book by Christmas and work on my own book to get the final prof reading over and done with.

So this weekend I will spend it with my children finish and before “nursery” shopping and get ready for the first week back.

MEMORIES FOR SALE

If you could sell a memory, what would it worth? Not just to you but your family, friends and love ones. Then how much would a stranger pay for it?

Over the last 40 Day and 40 nights of lent I have aimed to look at the future and my children's future and where I can go from here?

Before I was a mother I was daughter, sister, friend a lover, a rival and an enemy to someone, but who will remember my in my time of need or family when they need me but I am longer there for them?

I remember reading an article about a family who all wrote a letter for a baby that was born in there family so that she read them on her 21^st birthday and know the people in her life. People who she had loved and possible lost or may not even remember meeting but may have met her. The family knowing that some of them knowing they they may no longer their to celebrate her birthday. But they could be there for her with words.

I found this so moving so I have decided that I am going to sell my memories on EBay with an item that I once owned. With the money that I get fro each sale 10% will go to a local charity The Mary Ann Evans Hospice. At the end of each month I will donate 10% to the Alzheimer's and dementia Trust.

I use to work with people with Alzheimer's and dementia and it was the pain in there families eyes that I remember the most. Epically when the person in front of them could not remember them. It was so heart breaking to know how this disease effects every one.

With the money I revive from each sale, I will used it to create New memories with my children so that one day they can be shared with their children and their children's children

That is one thing that I love about the internet the ability to contact with other and prove that humans really to care.

So if you would like to buy any item of mine and a memory please view my Ebay page and look for items that I have for sale that say memory shared and the item.

You will revive the item and a letter form me sharing a personalized memory with the item that you have purchased.

Thank you for reading.

Lent Blog Day 36

Lent Blog Day 36

Lent is almost over and this year I have had a lot to think about and about the future. It is very import for me that I can provide for my family and above all that that are happy and heathy. I am really thinking about where I want to be in a Years time from now and where I would like my children to be? I am also thinking about work and becoming self employed him an on line business mainly and how much time and money I can invest in being self employed. I have also been looking at building up my portfolio and what support I can get from the DWP.

I have had so many ideas running thought my mind and I need to start looking at building up a business plan and taking steps into where I am going to be by September 2017.

Lent Blog Day 34/35

Lent Blog Day 34/35

It is day 33 of my lent blog and a lot as changed over the last few weeks and days just passed. One of the main things is the importance of family and your love ones health. This week I have found out that my son now as chickenpox! The spots came out today BUT I was carrying the virus for 10 days prior. Due to my sister being with child I have not been able to see her and by the time my child are well she will be a mum for the first time. So I will get to see mother and baby with out the risk of my children still having or likely having chickenpox.

During this time I have had to call on reinforcement so their dad as stepped in to support me mean that he once again like any parent would as put off doing other things in life that needed doing or wanted to do.

“let me why I hate Mondays.”

“The Man in the mirror.”

The two songs going though my head right now.

This is why I loved living on a narrow boat so that I did not have to deal with people in my life unless we were moored near people.

I have found being back in house so stressful and so have my children. It is great that they are in education and are local to the family all the time BUT the cost of having these things is at times TO MUCH!

I was looking at standing in the local election again this year BUT just have not been able to do so with the children and myself being unwell.

So when it dose come to voting on 4^th May I will have to think long and had as to who to vote for.

In the past I was with a party UKIP! BUT like being with any party you have to follow their political polices and that may not leave any room to follow and support what you believe and want to change.

If I had stood for election this year I would have stood alone. Some of the things that I would have worked to achieve in Nuneaton and my chosen ward which would have been probable Arbury due to where I am living now would have been things like.

Supporting the George Elliot Hospital and trying to keep A&E and Maternity Open.

This is something that I have very passionate about and know that it would not just be Nuneaton and Bedworth that would be effected if they were to close down part of the hospital. With it being on the A444 Atherstone, Hinckley, Coventry are also places that at time that use this hospital depending on where you live.

I would have also supported Family Planing

I believe that this is very important and needs addressing, no one should have to wait up to three months to see a family planning doctor or use a service that is only available one to two evenings per week after 18.00 at night epically when public transport is limited. This service should be available during the day too.

Needing a new grave site in Nuneaton!

This is a must! It would be nice to have some where in Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council where people if they chose can have a nice woodland burial if they choose. This is something that is already viable in Coventry and also Lemington.

Permit parking,

Due to the amount of car owners and the on going congestion on the roads I strongly feel that curtain streets should be permit parking only. When new properties are build, many now come with car parking for one car per home. I know that car owners may not be happy with this But I feel that it is important to safe guard pedestrians and home owners. In many street in Nuneaton, there are on going issues with car parking which as lead to double parking and people using foot paths to park their cars on. In Stockingford on Nuneaton There are a few major road which are always constricted due to road congestion of parked cars. This as lead to Bus Services not being able to operate on time especially in and around Westbury Road, Heath End Road, St Paul's and Arbury Road.

It would these these road that I would look at permit parking on! It is also these roads and side roads that have become a prime target for “BUY TO LET” LAND LORDS. I am all of people having some where to live and work BUT at the same time people have to remember that the roads at not really designed to cope with the amount of cars that use them to day.

I strongly feel that if these roads where permit parking only it would make parking fro those that live in the street able to do so. One of the main roads that I know to be an issue is Grove Road. It as properties down there that are Bedsits and up to 5 cars from one house due to each person renting a room in one property being a car owner. This as caused a lot of problems over the last year. It is also a road that is used by people that work at the local schools and a bury road due to lake of parking that is provide by the schools for there staff and Arbury Road for its residents.

http://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/parking

https://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/

One way roads ONLY!

In the town centrer a few roads have become one way to help with road and traffic congestion. In Stockingford I strongly feel that this also soul be put into practice to avoid traffic congestion and to help improve the safety to just to driver but also pedestrians. I would patio to make Westbury road one way and also Grove Road too. The main reasons fro this is due to Westbury Road being the main bus route for the number nine bus service which is always unsafe and congested. If it was a one way Semite it would make parking in the road safer and also enable the bus to go from Arbury Road into Westbury Road with out the risk of on coming traffic blocking the route.

With Grove Road it should be one way due to having Nuneaton Academy at the top of the street and Stockingford First and Middle School at he bottom. Being a one way road would again avoid contention, make it safe for student going to and from school, these are to the two main concerns due the bottom of the road being a blind bend and the top of the road heading onto Arbury Road. In the past people have mentioned reduced speeding signs But I believe that making it one way would be more effective and safer.

https://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/

Bus Services

I would have applied of funding to that all service ran seven days per week even is it was only on an hourly basic or on a Sunday at 8.00 in the morning and then again at 6.00 so that is people need to work on Sunday a service was provide. I belie that this is a must for service like the 17, 18, 41 and 7. The bus service to the industrious estate tend to be cut during the day BUT run to enable people to travel to and from work, so there fore I believe that the 17, 18, 41, and 7 should do the same.

It would also be nice if on occlusion that a bus service even if it was “Private hire” was provided when local event take place in the Bough or at the NEC. The 717 use to run to the NEC and was well not well used which is why the service got axed. I strongly feel that if the service was promoted more then it could be reinstated in the future.

I feel that people should be encouraged to use public transport more and that service for children and students should be fare and stay at £2.50 all year. Also Family passes should be promoted more and encouraged especially during the weekends and holidays.

Promote Tourism More!

We have a market! So promote it!

We are on the major link to the Coventry Canal especially during the summer of hire boats and Holiday boaters encourage them to stop!

Offer pop up shops.

Promote the Heritage Centre and Craft Centre more!

Promote the Art Galley more!

WE have the opportunity to turn this town around if we can encourage the boating community to stop in Nuneaton the word on the tow-path is a powerful one and at the moment it is OMG! NEVER MOOR THERE!

I am hoping this year that will change this summer!

These are some of the key things that if I had stood and was elected that I would have aimed to have achieved. So may be next year,

So when I do vote this year I will be looking at the following things from some one that is wanting to represent Nuneaton and Bedworth in my area.

Lent Blog day 30

Family! Over the last few days family have been very important to me and have been all that I am thinking of. Over the past few days so many people have lost love ones and it could have been me. This is why I am so grateful for every second that I get to spend with my friends and family. Many people have said that I should get a job and support my family. But for me not working at the moment I am supporting them. I will never get this time back with my children. I will work when they are in full time education; after all I will probable have to work until I am 70 now. But we will see.

Now sleep.

Lent Bog Day 25

With mother day almost upon us I think of those who have lost love ones and have held them in their hearts as a mother or a mother figure. I lost think of Mary and how soon she would be a mother losing her son. Some thing that one should ever endure the loss of a child.

But these last few days have been filled with happiness and sadness for those I love and know around me. With Winter looking like to is clearly over. The clocks go forward to show and remind us that life never stops and that things happen for a reason. Although the loss of one you love is a pain that you never forget but due to live with in time.

Today was another day where the sun was shining to remind everyone of spring and new life.

I also attended the local market, shops in Nuneaton with my family and went to a charity event in Camphill for a local boy with leukaemia. I then visited my family and came home.

Lent Blog Day 23.

Over the last few days I have aimed to sleep more and be on line less. So I have also spent that time looking for a new job and spending time with the boys.

I have also today spent time with my friends, posted some more items on line to sell and more films that I have made on You Tube. I am so happy that thinks may be looking up and I can hopefully move forward now.

Lent Blog Day Eighteen

Day Eighteen

Today and yesterday have been very positive. So as the whole week! I have been very focused on the future and how I can support my family. I started working on the garden again and planting more plants that I am hoping to sell in the future.

I have started some new art projects and selling my unwanted clothes and other items on Ebay. I also have some items that I am going to be dropping off at a local charity store this week and cash of clothes.

I have started collecting pine cones for my new project that I aim to get finish by autumn 2017. I have stated to rethink my finances to try and save some money each week so that I have some money for a “rainy day.”

I also heard from an old friend and I was so happy to hear from them. It hard difficult for me to think about my past and to talk to the people from it at times due to the pain that it still carries. With the DWP trying to push me back into work I know that I still am not ready to that that due to not feeling safe to do so.

I find it so hard to talk to people that I use to know and to even walk down certain streets in my home town due to the painful memories that they carry. It is so hard that I know that I need to move on, but how do I do this when I still can not forget my past and would like to keep in contact with people without the pain that it carries?

I will have to work on this.

Form today I believe that things are only going to get better. I have had sure a great day! Yes it started off to a rusty start but both children are asleep in bed now and I get every thing done today that I would have liked to do so far. So I am happy.

I still need to get an egg timer! That is a must!

So now it is down to businesses I have to get sorted!

Get ready for tomorrow!

OMG!

I just hope that tomorrow goes as planed!

Lent Blog Day Sixteen

Day Sixteen,

I did not write about yesterday I was so wiped out after attending the NEC and the Educational Show. This week is so busy with shows; so I attend the one I thought would benefit my future. I have got a lot of information and will use it and give the information out too.

Today a “normal” Friday with two small children to take care of; tomorrow Callan will dance again.

ADDING LINKS THAT ARE USEFULL TO YOU SOCAIL MEDIA CONTACTS AND SUBSCRIBE VIA EMAIL ARE USEFUL.

JUST DO NOT OVER LOAD YOUR SLEF AND DECLUTTED YOU IN BOX AT ONCE PER WEEK.

I WOULD ALSO RECOMENT UNSBSCRIBING TO ANY THING THAT YOU HAVE NOT USED FOR A VIEW MONTHS.

Lent blog Thirteen

Lent Blog Day Thirteen

The day that for many if classed as “bad luck”, today I would have to agree. The bus service to day was a nightmare with service being cut again. Also the NHS is really in trouble when it takes up to a month to seen a family planning doctor. Apart from this it was a good day and the boys are well. I have started to post items on eBay to sell. I will continue to do so to remove clutter from my life. What I no longer need I will burn, recycle and give to charity or some one who needs it. This will be on a first come first served bases with anything that I give away.

https://youtu.be/KnKQFyKtEFo

IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT GIVEING AWAY TO AND CHARITY THEIR ARE A NUMBER OF WAYS THAT YOU CAN DO THIS.

I WOULD RECOMENT HAVING A CLEAR OUR ABOUT EVERY 3 MONTHS IF YPU CAN AND LOOKING TO WAHT YOU WOULD LIKE TO KEEP, THROW, UPCYLE OR DONATE.

WHEN YOU IMPORT THIS INTO YOUR MONTHLY ROUTINE, YOU WILL FIND THAT YOU WILL START YOU CHANGE YOU SPENDING HABITS AND MAY EVEN SAVE MONEY.

Burning unwanted paper work over the hoildays.

BURNING ALL OF YOUR WASTE IS IMPORTANT TO ME.

NOT ONLY IS IT VERY THERAPUTIC IT HELPS TO GET RID OF ANY PAPER WORK THAT CAN CONTANE INFORMATION THAT COULD  BEUSED IN ID THEIFT OR FRAUD.

I KNOW THAT TO DAY ALOT OF YOUR PERAONSL INFROMATION IS ONINE SO YOU REALLY NEED TO BEALBE TO PROTACT YOURSLEF IN EVERY WAY POSIBLE.

IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO CHAGE IT THEN SO NOT POST IT.

GOING PAPERLESS CAN HAVE ITS PROS AND CONS.

HAVING PAPER WORK STILL IN IMPORT ESPICALLY FOR BUSSINESS AND KEEPING IN FORMATION THAT SOME TIMES CAN "CONVENANLTY" DISAPEAR ELCTRONICALLY WITH A PRESS OF A BUTTON.

SO THINK ABUT WHAT PAPER WORK YOU NEED AND DO NOT NEED.  I WOULD RECOMENT SORING IT OUT ADN PUTTING IT INTO A FOLDED.

ALSO TO KEEP SOME IMPOERTANTINFORMATION FOR ABOUT 3-6 MONTHS MAX.  SOME PAPER WORK MAY NEED TO BE STORED FOR 5 YEAR LIKE BUSSINESS COUNTS.

BUT ANY THING ELSE I AIM TO GIVE A 3-6 MONTH SHELF LIFE.

I MAY THEN KEEP AND ELECTRONIC COPY ON FILE.

TO FINF OUT AOUT HOW TO BURN AND WHAT YOU CAN BURN IN YOUR BACK GARDEN LOOK ON YOU LOCAL COUNCIL WEB SITE OR GOVE.UK

Leng Blog Twelve

Lent Blog Day Twelve

Yes I know that I missed nine and ten on my blog. Ten was a Sunday and nine I was up late Friday night and then up early Saturday morning so that my son could go dancing and spend the day with his family.

I have always tried to have one day per week where technology dose not rule my life and my children learn that people can live without technology even if it is only for 24 hours a week.

This week I have been trying to get more organised with Callan’s dance show coming up soon at the Bedworth Civic Hall this year with Chatter Dance Academy in Nuneaton.

Over the last few days I have been spending my time still sorting out the things that I no longer need in my life and trying to focus on mine and my children's future. Apart from that nothing much as really changed and I do not believe this is going to change until Bryndly starts nursery and then I will start work again.

Until then I am still working on my blogs and art work though Red Bubble.

Lent Blog Day Nine

Lent Blog Day Nine.

I am sorry no lent blog eight, I just crashed last night due to having a great and tiring day with my family! Today was a busy day too. I looked at relocating for a job that I would really like to do, BUT when I looked at the cost of living and if I would be better off the answer was sadly no. I was so happy of thought of going back to work and trying to give my children a fresh start and a new lease of life.

But after going on the following website

http://www.entitledto.co.uk/benefits-calculator/startcalc.aspx?e2dwp=y

and working out how much financially I would be better off after taking out travel and child care the answer was £0.00. So what I am looking at doing now is looking after the boys and looking for work when they are both in full time education unless something comes along in the mean time that I just can not say no to. The main reason for this is because for my children to be in full time care whilst I work I would be looking at paying about £80.00 per day.

Lent Blog Day Seven "International Women's Day!"

Lent Blog Day Seven

https://youtu.be/drGx7JkFSp4

“Happy International Women's Day!” I think that it is great that this day comes up during Lent it give people time to think about women and women's rights! I know some men might be thinking ”What about our rights?”

But to day is about celebrating equality and diversity and people being able to have a voice! This is still not the case in many countries with the inability of “Free Speech.” Today people that are mentioned and celebrated are women throughout history that have helped to make a difference in one way or another.

But people tent to forget to celebrate the birth of every women and how much of a struggle life can be for the female sex. For me, one of the biggest struggles in life is motherhood. Even if you are not a biological parent to the child you raise being a mother figue is any way shape or form is to me the hardest job for a women.

Do not get me wrong being a father fugue is too, however the bound between mother and child usually last forever especially in the animal world; most males tend to farther the off spring and “that’s all she wrote.”

One mother that people tend to look to or think about especially at this time of year is Mary; the mother of Jesus and what she did for her son. Form the moment he opened his eyes and closed them.

The hardest thing for any parent is the loss of a child; “parents should not really out live their children.” So to day I am happy to celebrate international Women’s Day and remember every Mother figure in the world enough Mother’s Day is not until later in the month.

Lent Blog Day Six

Lent Blog Day Six.

The last 24 hours have been very interesting and filled with mixed emotions from everyone involved. I am back on my meds and the boys almost sleep thought although Bryn is still under the weather and wanted me 247 to hold him.

Trying to de-clutter as been a great help and given us all more space to run around in doors; the garden is looking better now too. No more broken glass to cut our bare feet on in the summer. I am hoping to have a BBQ for my birthday that coincides with 1St July event that is taking place locally that I will be attending.

Callan had a good eating day and we even had time to night to go to the park and see nan. I have looked at not eating late and trying to be in bed by 22.00. Although last night I did fall down the stairs again due to still suffering with sleep derivation.

All my blood came back fine, which means that it must be sleep derivation that is effective me still physically, mentally and emotionally.

Lent Blog Day Five

Lent Blog Day 5

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QzpSeDsHIw

Where did day 4 Go? Yesterday was Sunday and a day that I try to stay off line and be their for my children all day. Plus my youngest was unwell so I put his needs first. He is still unwell and I had to call in back up. It is nice when you count of those around you for support and is something that not everyone as. In today’s society people are less welcoming and neighbourly.

I mean a really neighbour and not a “curtain twitched.” Just some one that can support you in a cries and be a shoulder for you to cry on. Even with social networking this is still something that seams to be lost in translation and not on tap.

This is were at times having faith and being part of a church helps me out and makes me feel like I am not alone. It reminds me that everyone needs help for time to time. I try to use this to try and forget my problems and see how I can help other with theirs.

I always feel so guilty, ashamed and stupid when asking fro help, it is not because I am scared to or stubborn but because I feel week when I depend of the support of some else.

I am looking at working on this. Today was a good day and I played with my children and not just spent the day cleaning up the mess that they make. Bed time was still not good and had to call for help. But all tucked in bed now and I will now do the same.

Lent Blog Day Three

Lent Blog Day Three.

I have been going though all of my magazines and I will be putting them on line to sell from £5.00 including free UK postage. I am currently gleaning any reliant information from them to keep and use in the future.

I have also started a new Art Project and been a really BITCH towards my boys who never listen to me and believe they are superman.

Started meds again and now it is time for bed.

Lent Blog Day Two

Lent Blog Day Two

Now that it is the week end I have 3 days to get my life into some sort of order again My mum as offered to take my son dancing and their dad is working so I am aiming to get sleep back to 20.00 and not 22.00 because daddy visited during half term break.

I know that eating late and it being Chocolate from my mum is not a good idea but I need a lift. I also need to find a way for getting my boys to listen to me. If this could happen I am sure my stress levels would decrease ten folds. This is something that I need to work on other wise I will be in an early grave and one I can not afford.

Today I looked at seeing how I could go back to work, Bottom line I would be looking at paying around £2,000 before I can do so in training and about 6 months volunteer work IF I looked at working for some one else. I am going to go to the Education show at the NEC in the next few weeks and I will make a decision about furthering my career in the education sector or something else.

I will also look at maybe doing some volunteer work in September when both of my boys are in nursery. For now Routine, take my medication and wait of my blood test. Eat chocolate, drink tea and sleep.

Lent Blog Day One

Lent Blog Day one.

And breath! I have final got the children into bed after another stressful day, full of doctors, hospitals, blood test, broken items and lost keys. Not for getting “I want daddy and not you any more!”

So far looking to the futre and trying to stay positive whilst doing so as not gone to well. What I have found out fro today is that my health is not good and I need to do something to improve it NOW. Also the relationship between me and my children is not good either due to my ill health.

One of the main things that I have always had trouble with is stress and working under presure. To to mention being organised and remembering where things are. Over the years I have tried to think of different ways to cope and get thought the day.

But having other people to take care of, means that things do not always go to plan and my health goes out of the window. So what do I so about it?

Today was a positive step more blood tests and antibiotics. The second one is sleep. I need to try and find away to get my children to sleep though for me just like they do for their nan and dad on over night visits.

Eating, I need to stop eating late at night and lower my caffeine in take and up my fruit and vegetables.

I need to start making a list of things to do each day and do it!

That is all of now I will write again tomorrow.
